Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? The reviewers assert that the difficulty of explaining, inspecting, or predicting generative AI behavior underlies all the risks the states describe, because of the statistical nature of the mechanisms. → Roschelle 2024
Evidence¶
Roschelle 2024¶
Roschelle, J., Fusco, J. & Ruiz, P. (2024). Review of Guidance from Seven States on AI in Education. Digital Promise. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/204
q1 · i? · review · r2
The reviewers' own interpretive statement in the Risks section, not a tested result. They state that "the behavior of generative AI tools are difficult to explain, inspect, or predict" and attribute this complexity to the statistical nature of the mechanisms.
"Digital Promise notes that underlying all risks is the fact that the behavior of generative AI tools are difficult to explain, inspect, or predict; this underlying complexity is inherent in the statistical nature of their mechanisms."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Using AI to evaluate AI outputs was often challenging because AI act as yes people and humans struggled to agree on evaluation rubrics — related
- State AI guidance describes risks but risk-management work is at an early stage, with some documents possibly too upbeat given school readiness — related
- An SLM executor under tight constraints can drive a Cognitive Agent through formatted outputs and logit-based action selection, yielding partial rather than full explainability — related
